Authentic Travel

 

Authentic Travel is a term I use often.  I googled it and it’s definitely not exclusive to me however the meaning is subjective.  My definition is to take a genuine interest in other people and their culture.  I’m curious and I like to talk to as many local people as I can.  I ask a lot of questions.  I slow down, listen carefully and respect their differences.  I try to remember names.  If I want people to be genuine I have to be genuine myself.  I try to be open minded.  Eat where the locals eat.  Read about their culture before I arrive.  Learn some basic language.  At the end of the day peoples hopes and dreams are more alike than they are different…..
we are all citizens of the world.
